EA App/Origin troubles and Steam version availability
So, the TS3 sub-reddit on Reddit is full of complaints lately about TS3 EPs not being able to be installed or played neither via Origin nor via the new EA App launcher. EA is not in a rush to fix it.
I have TS3 via Steam now (switched from Origin years ago) but the lightly paranoid nature of my mind popped a question: if EA insists that folks have to play TS3 via this new App thingy, is it possible / realistic to assume that they can take down TS3 from Steam, and it won't be available anymore to play there, only on EA App?
Just reminding you, that ages ago I had a purchased Sims Medieval game on Steam, but after a longer period, EA had the game taken down from Steam and SM became an Origin-only game. I couldn't play my Steam version anymore.
Is there anyone who is more informed about the bigger picture? What can we expect?
